A sharp sword flashing with cold light stabbed Kou Ji.
Kou Ji was startled and said a curse word casually.
He stepped back continuously, avoiding the sharp sword.
The man holding the sword seemed not to let him go so easily.
If the person holding the sword misses with one blow, he will stab again with the sword.
Kou Ji retreated again and again, and retreated to the wall. He picked up a dead bamboo on the wall and went towards it.
Before entering the palace, Kou Ji had no knowledge of martial arts.
After entering the palace, under the guidance of Cao Xu, he learned a few self-defense techniques.
It's not that he has superb martial arts skills, but he's good enough to handle dangerous situations.
Kou Ji held the dead bamboo like a knife and slashed out horizontally.
Kuzhu deflected a fatal blow from the sword wielder.
The man holding the sword turned his wrist and stabbed Kou Ji with the sword again.
Kou Ji crossed the dead bamboo to block it.
"Crack!"
The dead bamboo was cut in the middle.
Kou Ji was startled.
The sword wielder's martial arts skills were clearly superior to his.
He quickly turned around, backed away, and ran towards the front of Jingling Palace.
Because he saw that the soldiers in front of Jingling Palace had already rushed over when they found someone committing murder with a sword.
"Quick! Get this assassin for me!"
Kou Ji shouted while retreating.
When the soldiers heard Kou Ji's words, their steps quickened a bit.
"Little demon! Die!"
The man holding the sword refused to give up and chased Kou Ji and stabbed him.
Just as the sword was about to fall on Kou Ji's chest, a large gun was thrown out, smashing the sword out of the sword-holder's hand.
A captain in armor rushed in front of Kou Ji, raised his big gun, and swept out.
The man with the sword was forced back.
The captain in charge of the school turned around and said to Kou Ji: "Brother Kou, are you okay?"
Kou Ji raised his eyes and saw that it was Yang Wenguang.
"Brother Wenguang? Quick! Get this assassin down for me!"
Kou Ji said quickly.
Yang Wenguang tightened his grip on the big gun and nodded.
Then, he picked up the big gun and stabbed it out.
Yang Wenguang has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Under the strict instruction of his aunts and the old lady in his family, his martial arts skills are very extraordinary.
As soon as he took action, the man holding the sword was immediately at a disadvantage.
In just three rounds, Yang Wenguang shot the sword holder in the leg and the sword holder fell to the ground.
Immediately, soldiers rushed forward and detained the man holding the sword.
Kou Ji let out a long breath and then had time to look at the man holding the sword.
The man holding the sword was wearing a moon-white shirt, but it had not been washed for a long time and was stained with weeds and dirt, making it difficult to see its original appearance.
Her hair was disheveled, her face could not be seen clearly, and judging from her figure, she seemed to be young.
After she was caught, she gritted her teeth fiercely and said nothing, feeling secretly sad in her heart.
I don't know if he is complaining that he is useless, or that he is complaining that Kou Ji, a little devil, has a good life and can actually meet someone to save him.
"Captain, she is a woman!"
The soldiers who were detaining the sword holder lifted up her hair. After seeing her cheeks, they were stunned and hurriedly reported.
"Female?"
Yang Wenguang raised his eyebrows and looked at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji's face turned dark and he said dullly: "I'm not good at martial arts..."
Yang Wenguang was stunned for a moment and quickly explained: "Brother Kou, don't think about it. That's not what I meant. I just think it's a little strange. In the next few days, we will also catch the assassins, but basically they are all men. There are no
I've seen women.
This was my first time seeing a woman commit murder, so I was a little curious.
I wonder who Brother Kou has offended?"
Kou Ji clicked his lips, not knowing how to answer.
He didn't know who he had offended and provoked the assassination.
It seems that Liu E was offended...
But Liu E would never send someone to assassinate him on the street.
"It seems like you haven't offended anyone, right?"
Kou Ji's uncertain tone made Yang Wenguang feel that Kou Ji was unwilling to tell him the time.
Yang Wenguang didn't get to the bottom of it. He said to Kou Ji: "Since we don't know why Brother Kou was assassinated, I will send someone to tell you after I interrogate him later."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and said in deep thought: "Can you leave the person to me? I want to personally examine it."
Yang Wenguang was stunned and frowned: "Brother Kou, can't you trust me?"
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said: "I am also an official of the imperial court now. If the news about my assassination spreads, the Ministry of Punishment will definitely ask you for someone. If this person is handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, it is difficult to say whether you can ask for someone."
Yang Wenguang pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's fine! I'll send two people to help you escort her back."
Kou Ji cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much!"
After a pause, Kou Ji asked: "Brother Wenguang, when you met me before, you always called me Mr. Kou politely. Why do you call me brother now?"
Yang Wenguang was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Young Master Kou, do you think it's inappropriate?"
Kou Ji quickly shook his head, "I like to make friends the most."
When Yang Wenguang heard this, he smiled and said: "To be honest, I have done a good job in protecting you before, and the officials promoted me to an official position. Thanks to you, I naturally want to get close to you. And you are an official now, so it is inappropriate to call you son.
, my official position is a little higher than yours, so it’s not appropriate to call you sir. After much deliberation, I can only call you brother.”
Kou Ji suddenly realized, he cupped his hands and said: "Then I will have to call you brother from now on. If you save my life today, I will definitely come to thank you one day."
When Yang Wenguang heard this, he was also stunned. After a long time, he smiled and said: "Easy to say."
"Farewell!"
"please!"
After the two said goodbye, Kou Ji asked his soldiers to escort the assassin to Kou's mansion.
In front of Jingling Palace.
A group of soldiers surrounded Yang Wenguang and said: "Captain, today you saved Master Kou Jikou, and the Kou Mansion owes you a favor. In the future, with Mr. Kou protecting you in the court, you will surely have a prosperous career in officialdom."
"
Yang Wenguang stared and said coldly: "I don't want to hear such words in the future. My ancestors made achievements on the battlefield. If I want to make achievements, I have to earn them from the battlefield.
I, Yang Wenguang, will never weaken the name of my ancestors."
A group of soldiers patted the horse's legs in flattery, and could only smile awkwardly.
"Go back to Jingling Palace!"
Yang Wenguang snorted coldly, and the soldiers followed him back to Jingling Palace.
On the other side, Kou Ji brought the female assassin back to Kou Mansion.
When the disciples saw Kou Ji, they were overjoyed and hurried to greet him.
"Young Master, are you back from the palace?"
When he saw the soldiers behind Kou Ji and the female assassin, he was also stunned.
"This is……"
Kou Ji said casually: "An assassin wants to assassinate me!"
Menzi was stunned and his eyes widened in vain.
He screamed: "That's terrible! Someone come quickly! Someone has assassinated the young master!"
"etc……"
Kou Ji wanted to stop him, but he couldn't.
Menzi screamed and rushed into the house.
After a while, the door of the house was crowded with people.
One by one, the servants, armed with sticks and swords, appeared at the door of the house.
Judging from the posture, it seems that he is willing to fight to the death to protect his master.
